Yes, it seems that archeological findings and historical records point to servants being killed and entombed with their mummified Pharaoh. This was, to the Egyptians, not a punishment but a necessity, because they believed that one could take things along with oneself into the afterlife to use. This is why, for a king, they would bury with him certain treasures, animals, weapons, even boats, and also servants who would "go with him" to serve him in the afterlife.
